Discussion

For user certificates, each organization obtains certificates from an approved, shared service provider, as required by OMB policy. For federal agencies operating a legacy public key infrastructure cross-certified with the Federal Bridge Certification Authority at medium assurance or higher, this Certification Authority will suffice. Self-signed certificates are not allowed.

Check Content

Verify that the Public Key Certificate is installed and has been obtained from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider.

Navigate to CLI and verify that there is a registry entry similar to below:

Reg set /sysconfig/tls/trustedcas EOF
(enter/paste certificate here)
EOF

If an entry is not found in the registry with the appropriate certificate, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Verify that the Public Key Certificate is installed and has been obtained from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider.

Set the trusted-ca variable within the DBN-6300 through the CLI.

This value is set with the following registry entry in the CLI:

Reg set /sysconfig/tls/trustedcas EOF
(enter/paste certificate here)
EOF
